Online Jobs Board....the best?

[jcaldwell]

I've seen AEPS and Climb to 350....they seem to be th best out there. Any other suggestions for worthwhile sites, US or global?

Also is Air Jobs Digest still worth a look?
They used to be the source, but I guess the internet has put paid to that.

Thanks for your opinion.

Also avcrew.com and flipdog.com

Most of the jobs on those boards are not going to be of much help for most people, though.

Most companies have far more applicants than they have job openings,, so they are usually advertising for other reasons:

1) Either they want or need someone with a particular type rating, or

2) They already have someone in mind, but HR requires that they advertise all positions, or

3) They have a high turnover and are offering pay/working conditions far below average

4) Once a job get advertised like that, they will have several hundred resumes flowing in

I'm not saying that there aren;t a few good jobs out there, but I would make that a very small part of my job search. The key to landing a job is to find it before it gets advrtised, and you do that through networking and through persistence.

You could get a copy of the NBAA directory and focus on 10-15 companies that you think you might be a good match for, then focus your efforts on those companies, sending them resumes, calling the CP to follow up, trying to get a face-to-face, and trying to stay "in the loop" so that if they have an opening, you will be first to know.

Good luck

IMO Ty Webb is correct when it comes to small flight departments or charter outfits - in this environment of pilots loaded with thousands of hours and the appropriate type-ratings flooding the market for each position most advertisments are formailites only; the job's gone by the time the ad apprears.

You never know though, there are the rare exceptions, some of which have reported on this board.

Thanks Ty,

I like your ideas...you are most definitely right about those situations.

I found the following out there in cyberland. http://www.proacm.com/

The information on jobs here looks old. Does anyone know if this site is Internet flotsam?

Considering that many of the companies listed are out of business, and some of the job listings have closing dates in 2000, I'd say it's severely outdated.
